Hello fellow riders. First bike I rode was back in 1997. It was a dirt bike I borrow from by brother. Little tricky running on the sandy beaches of Puerto Rico but I got hook to motorcycles since then. ... more

First bike I owned was a 1996 750 Kawasaki Vulcan in 1998 while I was stationed in Fort Bragg, NC. Sold it in 1999 before getting out of active duty. Second bike was a 99 750 Honda Magna, great bike bought it on E-bay in 2001. Third bike was a 2002 Honda Sabre 1100 also bought on E-bay in 2003. That was the bike I suffered my first close contact with the pavement while going to work on 22Sep04 (2 weeks after I bought the bike). A young teenager getting of a High School parking lot to a main street failed to look both ways and I ended up T-boning the car, flow over the car and broke my left humorous (humerus) bone and the pelvis in the front and back. After a couple of screws, metal plates and of course duck tape LOL I was back on me feet. I was so determine to get back on a bike that on Dec 31st of 2003(3 months after the accidents) I decided to have my last ride of 2003 on my 99 Honda Magna. I went around the neighborhood and I was so happy . Thanks to GOD almighty I ended up winning that round. I sold that bike on Feb 2004 . On Sep 2007, in the Fort Bragg used car sale lot, I found a 2001 Suzuki 1500 Intruder looking at me asking me to buy it. I took my wife to see the bike and asked her permission and she didn’t completely agree for me to buy another bike but she also love the bike when she so it. Well, nothing else to say. I have been riding that bike since then. I boutght it with only 7k miles on it. It has 13k now. So far so good. ""Every man dies, not every man really lives" Sir William Wallace.

I work as a Program Manager for the Dept of the Army Substance Abuse Program here in Fort Bragg, NC. I am also a Soldier in the Army Reserve here in Fort Bragg.
